For those who don’t already know it, the Gatorade cooler-destroying, umpire-insulting Carlos Zambrano has a soft, generous side.

Barry Praver, Zambrano’s Miami-based agent, confirmed his client currently is in Guatemala with his entire family trying to finalize the adoption of a young boy named Kenneth. The Guatemalan news website Siglo21 has a Spanish report on Zambrano’s efforts and a picture of him holding the boy.

A few years ago, Zambrano traveled to Guatemala with his church group to build houses for underprivileged families. It was during that trip, Praver said, that Zambrano and his wife toured the Esperanza de Vida (Hope of Life)orphanage and made a connection with Kenneth. The father of three daughters, Zambrano has been trying to adopt the boy ever since.

According to the Siglo21 report, the law there requires a certain amount of time to pass before a child can be declared abandoned and put up for adoption. That period has passed, enabling Zambrano to move forward with the adoption.

The Marlins hope to formally introduce Zambrano when he returns to Miami in three weeks or so.

Precisely why don’t the authorities make a plan to circumvent this wastefulness. It appears to people that allowing scooter and moped owners affordable access on to the roads pays For Itself. In particular at the tariff of lone motor vehicle motorists.
